It was actually a 2 bed room, we thought it was only a 1 bedroom so it was nice to have a spare bedroom. The only thing was the mosquitoes. She left an electric fly swatted to battle them and after 2 days we were able to get them under control. Even with the windows closed there were cracks that they were able to get into the apartment even with everything closed. But other than that, the area was the perfect place to live and learn the culture.
